Green Green Grass Of Home Chords & Lyrics - Bobby Bare

[INTRO]
[B] [A] [E] [B] [A] [E]

[VERSE]
[E]The old home town looks the same
as I [A]step down from the t[E]rain
And there to meet me is my mama and [B]papa
Down the r[E]oad I look and there runs Mary,
[A]hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's g[E]ood to touch the g[B]reen, green grass of [A]home.

[CHORUS]
[E]Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a[A] -reaching, smiling sweetly;
It's g[E]ood to touch the g[B]reen, green grass of h[A]ome.

[VERSE 2]
The old [E]house is still standing, though the p[A]aint is cracked and [E]dry,
And there's that old oak tree that I used to [B]play on
Down the l[E]ane I walk and with my sweet Mary,
[A]hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's g[E]ood to touch the g[B]reen, green grass of [A]home.

[BRIDGE]
[E]And then suddenly I awake and look around me
at the f[A]our gray walls that s[E]urround me
and I realize that I was only d[B]reaming.
For there's a g[E]uard and there's a sad old padre
[A]Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
a[E]gain I'll touch the green, g[B]reen grass of [A]home

[CHORUS]
[E]Yes, they'll all come to see me in the s[A]hade of that old oak tree;
As t[E]hey lay me 'neath the g[B]reen, green grass of [A]home.[E]
